A. Imagine that your group performs this lab again using another simulation version of a ballistic pendulum gun. The size of the bullet is the same, the vertical height is the same. You arrange your phtogate(s) exactly how you did in the original experiment (i.e. the same distance apart, the same positions, etc.) and you find that the bullet fired from the new gun takes TWICE AS MUCH TIME to pass through the photogates as the bullet from your original simulation. How would your answer to your research question for this gun be different from your answer for the gun you used in the actual lab? Explain as clearly as possible the chain of logic that determines the change in your answer. B. Imagine that, instead of firing the gun perfectly horizontally, you fired upwards at a slight angle. i. When you performed the experiment with a perfectly horizontal shot, you made a number of assumptions: horizontal velocity is constant; horizontal velocity is equal to the velocity measured through the photogates; vertical acceleration is constant; vertical initial velocity is zero; etc. Which of these assumptions would remain true in the new, tilted scenario? Which would not? Explain. ii. Would you expect the bullet to fly farther or not as far. Would you expect the bullet to be in the air for longer or not as long? Explain.
